Now if you can see an IN project about No.17) Glide SSM. So, what exactly it is??

SLBM.

 

[Chinmoy]

It it possible to make this target drone a loitering munition? It will be a nice toy to destroy the S400 batteries in Tibet if that happens, we have Israeli Harpy and Sky striker already, having an indigenous option nice way to grow the arsenal as we need more munitions like this.

I told this in this very thread the first time Abhyas was tested.

The test has not garnered much interest and few people here were mocking DRDO to make something of cold war time line.

I already mentioned it previously

It is a open range RCS ( radar cross section ) measurement system

Dual purpose. Jamming too.

SLBM.

Are you sure? SLBM in make 2 project .
In naval convention terms SSM stands for anti ship role and LAM stands for land attack role.
I am certain that this surely something related to anti ship role and launch platform would be a ship, likely a simple subsonic naval anti ship missile, you can't really ask anything more complex in make-2.

BRAHMOS is a Make-2 category. It is a SSM project. But in Naval term SSM also means Sub Surface Missile. It could be BRAHMOS too. But the Glide in front of SSM makes it interesting because as of now we have pvt firms working on Glided vehicle rather then DRDO. DRDO is working on powered Hypersonic project.

So in all probability it would be a SLBM rather then Ship launched one.

Enjoy!

Really like the butt of this one.

 

[SavageKing456]

what will be expected range of hstdv ??

Hstdv is a tech demonstrator it would have multiple applications with different ranges depending on users requirements

 

[Vamsi]

Enjoy!

when will it fly ??

 

[SavageKing456]

when will it fly ??

Already flown I guess there has been delay of information coming in this program

 

[Vamsi]

Already flown I guess there has been delay of information coming in this program

hope that they will show it in Defexpo 2022

 

[ShukantC]

Enjoy!

its small but already more stealthy than the Russian Okhotnik or the Chinese Shar sword

How do you know ?

 

[ShukantC]

How do you know ?

Cause till now the prototypes of these two which have flown till now especially they both have had circular nozzles (without Chevrons), so the stealth aspect especially from the rear aspect the SWIFT is better designed for now. But I'm sure in the future both of these will get stealth optomized nozzles

you know I do believe the fellow on the Okhotnik has been shrunk down, cuz the S-70 is now that big
